Jay-Z Gives $50,000 Bonuses to Roc Nation Employees

The star — who recently released his 12th solo album, Magna Carta Holy Grail, gave all of his employees a $50,000 bonus.

“Earlier this year he handed out $50,000 bonuses to everyone in his company, which includes assistants and very low-level people,” a Jay-Z employee tells Star. “He even promised another bonus for Christmas.

“He’s extremely generous — most celebrities are supercheap when it comes to running their businesses.

“He knows if his employees are happy, it will benefit him in the long run. His only demand was for everyone to have fun with the money.”

Christmas came early at Roc Nation. Maybe Harry Belafonte did have an effect on him.
